text: Remote<p>Hello, DocSpring [1] is looking for a front-end developer who can help us fix a few issues in our React application. This would be a short-term contract to fix some specific issues, so it may take a few weeks, or perhaps a few months. The backend is written with Ruby on Rails, so some Ruby experience could be helpful, but this is not a requirement. You must have great problem-solving skills, and a lot of experience with JavaScript and React. Please send us an email if you are interested: jobs at docspring.com<p>[1] DocSpring.com
